Unable to Lie to you

Surprise.

Augustina and Anne reached the club after a so-called journey of 1 hour. Thinking why right?

Anne being a stupid ass, decided to blast ' Teenage Dream' throughout their way. Even though the club was 20 minutes away from where Tins lives, Anne took the longer route which extended their way by another 35 minutes. When asked why Anne replied that she wanted to "feel" Katy Perry's words by the whole scenario. Crazy, no doubt!

Anyway, back to the present.

After many years Augustina had stepped inside a club. She usually doesn't go to a club because 1) she hates clubbing. 2) her horrible ending with James at a club party. She had taken an oath never to go to one but here she was. Pressurised by Anne...freaking ass.

Augustina was already feeling uncomfortable amidst these assorted boozers. The general area had a revolting smell of sweat and alcohol which almost upturned Tina's stomach. 'Gosh..why did I even agree to this.'

Before Augustina could reach Anne to tell her about that, she felt Anne's smooth hand grabbing hers and guiding her to the VIP area.

She felt nervousness creeping her back. Anne felt Tins too. She reassured her by mouthing "You will be perfect". Now, it was time to talk with people.

Anne introduced her to some of her modelling industry's known faces. Though Augustina is totally immersed in her job and career, she also keeps track of the outside world and different spheres of the career world. The models expressed awe when they learned about Augustina's profession and even exchanged numbers to keep in contact with 'such an extraordinary personality'. That was quite a compliment from such divas!

At last, when Augustina was feeling a tad bit comfortable with the surroundings, she felt someone watching her. But she brushed it off thinking she might be wrong.

As of now, everything was going alright. She was feeling good and smiling so heartily after a long time yet she was feeling awkward due to the fact that these people were party peeps and she on the other hand was a boring lecturer. But her newly found aquantainces were cheering her up and helping her to booze openly.

Boozing is not Augustina's cup of tea but the bitter smooth whiskey is having a good relationship with her. The world suddenly seems to be a fun place to live. It was getting the best out of her.

Nature's call disturbed her cheery mood. She excused herself from her group and walked towards the ladies' washroom stumbling a little and humming to the beat of the disco.

Returning from the washroom, suddenly she felt someone snaking their arms around her waist and a very familiar voice whispering against her right ear, 'Babe, I missed you.'

Augustina's throat hitched at the voice. Her intoxicated mind was overjoyed at the dejá vu feeling that she missed for so long.

'James, w-where were you s-sweetheart. I missed you!' She stuttered.

James chuckled at that and nibbled her ear implying her to keep quiet and assure he was there.

Augustina's inner self was telling her to push him off but her current state of mind was refusing to do so. She wanted James to take her. Right there. In his arms, in his embrace.

She wanted James.

But before Augustina could run her fingers through James' hair, she felt a loss of skincontact. She stared around her and to her horror, saw someone arguing with James. She wanted to defend him but a hand, which was soft enough to impose the fact that it was a female, stopped her and held her firmly.

Anne spun Augustina to face her and started yelling at her, shaking her shoulders. Whatever registered Augustina's mind was "YOU FREAKING IDIOT! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!"
"DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT WERE YOU GOING TO DO!!??"

Augustina hummed groggily at that but a male voice interrupted her.

"I would have said that it was nice meeting you but as you are not at all sober, I guess it will be an understatement."

Widening her eyes, as much she was able to, Augustina exclaimed, "Joshua?!"
